It's sad that coverbands get more per set than original bands. The assumption is that the cover band will bring in punters, but I say it's often the opposite.
A poster showing another sub par ACDC cover band in my local is going to keep me away not pull me in.

An original band pulling 35 punters is worth the same as a coverband pulling in 35 punters. They deserve the same pay.

Quote then the Fair Work Australia minimum wage of $65 per person per hour.

Rant over, hope you put on a great show, that's the main thing , the rest will come
